NEC Tenets
• “Operation Allied Force validated the need for joint, integrated training among the Services to enhance their ability to execute both joint and coalition operations.”
• “Operation Allied Force underscores the criticality of joint doctrine, interoperability training, and supporting Service doctrine, tactics, techniques and procedures. Greater emphasis must be placed on interoperability training among our own forces, with those of our allies, other nations, and partners, as well as on interagency training within our Government.”
Training Shortfalls - Op Allied Force
Common ThreadsCommon Threads •Lack of joint/interoperability training•Lack of system(s) compatibility
• “UK personnel must be better prepared for their C2 appointments.”
• “Training the people who are going to conduct the operation in as realistic an environment as possible with the equipment and procedures that they will be using is worth the effort and cost.”
• “UK forces must train as they expect to fight.”
• “UK staff deployed to US HQs must be completely familiar with the procedures and applications in use”

Last Words:Training counts
Capability is as dependent upon the proficiency of people as it is upon the hardware with which they fight. We need training superiority as much as we need technical superiority.
We don’t count trainingWe measure process, not proficiency,and what you don’t measure or report, you can ignore.
